    The quarter crunching classic that has basically remained the same throughout the years finally changes just a Wii bit, but still not enough to draw in any new fans.

    There is still something incredibly satisfying about beating your buddy up until he shrinks down to a little naked person and then eating him for lunch.

    If you already own it on the previous consoles there isn’t much here to warrant a second purchase, but with a few tweaks and some polish this game could easily make a comeback in the world of games.

    It's not a triple-A title by any stretch -- with its gameplay quirks and audio that sounds recorded in a bus-station bathroom -- but it captures the sense of simple fun that Nintendo was shooting for with this new-fangled console.

    If you were a big fan of Rampage and have been thinking "I'd like this more if I could physically punch instead of button mash!", then you're pretty much the target audience.

    A sloppy, unimaginative title that on the Gamecube was barely passable and on a next generation console is just not acceptable!

    I think this game’s real value lies in the simplicity and accessibility that would be really good for an enjoyable party game or as a rental.

    In concept it is a great game, but the execution and half baked controls really ruin this game that would have been on gamers must have list.

    Why stick to an old formula when it’s not as fun compared to games of the current generation? Still, there can be some nostalgic fun with Rampage, so it isn’t a complete write-off.

    Shoehorning in the most basic of Wii motion-sensing controls isn't enough to make a clunky, repetitive game like Rampage fun--if anything, it just makes it more annoying.
  13. GameDaily

    The developers failed to take good advantage of the Wii's controllers, as swinging punches becomes boring after half an hour.
